The subtitle suggests this is not a DIY handbook; rather it is a collection of short stories, collected from notable mystery, horror and fantasy writers, and edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni L.P Kelner. This was an enjoyable, diversionary read. I don't usually pick up collections of short stories, so, to remedy that, I started with a collection in a favorite genre. There are some notable authors here whose books I have read: Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, S.J. Rozan as well as many with whom I was not familiar. The plot lines vary widely from accidentally opening a portal to the world of the dead during a home renovation to a really bossy house that makes people do things they don't want to. For a brief description of each entry, go to Kathy Davie's review in StoryGraph.
